Housing Rights Conference In Newark: Oct. 28 Event

NEWARK, NJ — Get ready for a “symposium of art and social justice” in Newark.

Organizers will hold a housing rights conference from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28 at Rutgers-Newark Law School, 123 Washington Street.

According to a news release, the event will include visual art, housing resources, performances and workshops. Register online here.

Organizers said:

“We feel that this is a pertinent time especially to bring awareness to resources available to the community. This is because housing has always been an issue in Newark and New Jersey as a whole. The pandemic has caused many individuals to lose their jobs and ability to afford housing, only exacerbating the issue at hand. Also with the end of the eviction moratorium, we have a looming crisis that the community faces.”
